New States Start Loan Originator Testing

One of the requirements for getting licensed as a loan originator is passing both a national test and a state test. The national test has been available for over a year. Most of the states have had their tests go live since they first joined the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). The newest states to open up their state tests are: Alabama, Delaware, Missouri, Montana, Oregon, South Carolina and West Virginia. You can register through the NMLS for these tests now and start taking the test on June 14, 2010.

You should also remember that some states are certifying prior test results if part of their licensing requirements included passing a state test. Before you sign up for a state test, find out whether you can certify that you passed that state’s test so you do not have to take a test again.
